[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 6575433, member: 42582"] The campaign has a few competing trajectories. The dwarf fighter/cleric of Moradin/Eternal Defender and the drow sorcerer want to make the mortal world safe for ordinary people. The problem with the drow's methods is that they involve a lot of invocation of chaotic power (while a devotee of Corellon, he is also a Demonskin Adept - thought that may now be unravelling - and an Emergent Primordial of lightning and thunder, allied with Chan, the Queen of Good Air Elementals). The invoker with his staff of law is pushing - whether willingly or not - towards restoration of the Lattice of Heaven, which those other two - especially the drow - feel may stultify the mortal world. Meanwhile the Raven Queen die-hards - of whom the paladin is the more fanatical - are in practical terms getting their way. The Raven Queen has Torog's souls, winter in the Feywild as well as the mortal world, and now no longer has Lolth scheming to take back the domain of fate. In practical terms of leading the drow, the sorcerer PC wants to bring them to Corellon, but that may be hard. In terms of being a god of scheming and lies, that portfolio may go unclaimed, or perhaps the Raven Queen is the new god of scheming! As far as holding the world together, I'm not sure anyone is doing that. Every step the PCs take - killing Torog, killing Lolth, assembing the Rod of 7 Parts - seems to be bringing the Dusk War that much closer. And it's not as if they don't know it - they knew it when they tackled Torog and again when they tackled Lolth. I don't know what their plan is for holding off the chaos, or if they even have one!
